EXPERIMENT No. 2

Backcountry Nest

Mt. Hood National Forest, OR August 22, 2011
9:13 pm

Journey into the backwoods of Oregon with the Shwood crew to construct a community hideaway in the trees. The over sized nest is intended to inspire others to make the trek into the woods surrounding Mt. Hood. Those who successfully locate the fort are encouraged to add onto the structure and share with others. The first person to discover the nest will be greeted with a free pair of sunglasses stashed inside! Happy hunting…

Greetings!! What a great project idea…really appreciate your efforts to encourage people to enjoy the outdoors…and MHNF, in particular.

I was looking on a map to try to hone in on the potential location of your nest. It appears the Mileposts on HWY 35 in the MHNF run from the 50s to the 70s. I show MP 44 on HWY 26. I could be wrong about that…probably just need to hit the road to see.
